GLASS ON THE ROADS
(To the Editor.)
Sir, —On Wednesday night last at 7.45 o'clock I walked along Courtenay Place ori my way to the' theatre^' pppbr site the King's Theatre I saw large pieces of' glass strewn over the roadway between the kerb and the tramline and for a distance of about 20 feet. Through this cars were constantly passing. I walked on until, at the next corner, I saw a policeman. I told him about the glass,. thinking that either lie would know the right quarter to approach to'get it instantly removed. He" said he could not get a broom from any of the shopkeepers and had sent away to another' station 'to get one. But on my' return at 10.30 p.m. the glass was still there and the cars were still passing through it.
Surely motorists, who are penalised in so many ways, are entitled to have the roads kept in such a manner that unnecessary damage is not done j;o their tyres. I'would be glad if you can inform me who would be the right person to approach to have the road cleared at that hour of night and also during the day- lam aware that, according to the law, the'person 'responsible for breaking the glass should clear it away, 'but,' in the event of his not haying done so, to whom does one apply?—l am, etc.,
RATEPAYER.
